NOTICE.
The reader is earnestly requested to refer to " THE Supplement " before
consulting the Work. A few words are all that are required in addition to
the original Preface. The learned and accomplished friends whose
co-operation I then gratefully acknowledged, have been equally kind
and obliging in this re-issue. One, Mr. Stephen Tucker, has since
become Somerset Herald, ahd has been succeeded as Rouge Croix by
my son, Mr, H. Farnham Burke, F.S.A., who has rendered me essential
service in this edition.

PREFACE.
The General Armory first appeared in the year 1842, and was most
iavourably received. The long period that has since elapsed has, by the
acquisition of vast materials, tended to the completion, and it is hoped to
the perfection of the original work. Founded on the Heralds' Visitations.
the County Histories, and the heraldic writings of Dugdale, Camden, Guillim,
Edmondson, Berry, Nicolas, and others, the present edition of the Armory is,
I venture to assert, the most comprehensive Collection of Arms ever brought
together, embracing, as it does, some 60,000 coats. The most minute
and watchfdl editing, rendered necessary by the technical nature of the
blazons, has been bestowed upon it. Every line required to be closely
examined, and each heraldic description to be correctly entered. Despite,
however, of this anxious attention, errors will doubtless be detected; but
these will, it is confidently expected, meet with the reader's indulgence.
The work comprises the Armorial Bearings of the Noblemen and Gentlemen
of the British Empire, and the various Coats that are to be seen in churches
and family mansions, together with those traceable on Seals, Deeds, Wills^
and Monumental remains.
History and genealogy, linked as they are with Heraldry, are illustrated
and in some iastances explained, by the Science of Arms.
-^ Heraldry arose with feudalism, attained its full growth iu mediaeval
times, and now, in the 19th century, is prized by all who can show
honourable ancestry, or wish to found honourable families.
Valuable as the assistance has been which I have derived fi-om the
authorities who have written upon the subject, the result of my endeavours
would be incomplete were it not for the generous aid afibrded me by many
distinguished friends.
To George Burnett, Lyon King of Anns, my deepest obligation is
due. With energy imtiring, with liberality unrestiicted, and with kindness
unwearied, he has done for this book and for Scotland generally what has
never before been attempted. The heraldry of the historic kingdom over
which his jurisdiction extends is, thanks to his learning and abihty, fully
and authoritatively given in this edition of the General Armory. My debt
is also great, and my acknowledgments are most cordially ofiered, to several
members of the Heralds' College England. My old and esteemed friend
ji PREFACE.
Sir Albert Woods, Garter, head of that famous Corporation, has responded
with unfailing courtesy and consideration to every question I have put
to him; and Chester, Lancaster, and York Heralds, Mr. Murray Lane,
Mr. Cokayne, and General de Havilland, always so kind and obliging,
have supphed most important information. And here I take occasion
to express the gratitude I especially feel to another member of the Heralds'
College, my accomplished friend Stephen Tucker, Rouge Croix. His skill
and great heraldic knowledge have, from the Glossary to the very end of
the Armoiy, amended and adorned the book. There is scarcely a page that
does not afford evidence of the value of his co-operation.
Outside of the Lyon Office and the Heralds' College numerous con-
tributors have essentially aided me in the compilation of this volume.
John H. Glascott, J.P., of Killowen, co. Wexford, so vrell known as a
Genealogist and Herald, has, with indefatigable zeal and assiduous care*
watched the progress of the work from the very beginning. I have also to
return my warmest thanks to many others who have most kindly seconded
my endeavours, and particularly to Mr. H. Sydney Grazebrook, Barrister-
at-law. Captain Alfred E. Lawson Lowe, of Highfield, Sfr John Maclean,
F.S.A., Mr. Robert Riddle Stodai-t, of the Lyon Office, Mr. Alfred W.
Morant, F.S.A., Mr. J. Paul Rylands, of Highfields, F.S.A., Mr. Tyssen-
Amherst, of Didlington Hall, Mr. Reginald Stewart Boddington, Mr. H. A.
Johnston, of the Irish Bar, Rev. E. H. Mainwaring Sladen, M.A., Mr. George
D. Tomlinson, Mr. W. Smith ElHs, of Hydecroft, Rev. John Woodward,
George W. Marshall, LL.D., F.S.A., Mr. Charles J. O'Donel, of Dublin,
Banister-at-law, Mr. James Greenstreet, Viscount Gort, Mr. E. P. Shiiley, of
Ettington Park, and Hon. Robert C. Winthrop and Mr. Thomas C. Amory,
both of Boston, U.S.
Thus produced and thus largely increased, the Armory will, it is earnestly
hoped, become a book of general and satisfactory reference on the subject
of Heraldry and Arms, and form the sequel to my series of works in elucida-
tion of the genealogy and history of the titled and untitled orders of the
three Kingdoms.

HERALDRY.
Heraldry may be defined " the art of blazoning', assigning, and marsTialling coat
armour," or more particularly " the art of arranging and explaining in proper terms
all that relates or appertains to the bearing of Arms, Crests, Badges, Quarterings,
and other hereditary marks of honour." The marshalHng of processions, tho
conducting of public solemnities, the declaring of peace and war, come also within
^<i province of a herald's duties.
The origin of badges and emblems may certainly be traced to the earliest times,
and the enthusiasm of some of the primitive writers on the subject has led them
to gravely assert that even Noah and Japhet had distinctive armorial bearings !
But while it may be admitted that in the ancient world warlike nations bore on their
shields and standards distinguishing devices, it is not clear that our Heraldry can
in strictness be traced to a more remote period than the twelfth or, at furthest,
the eleventh century. Numerous tombs exist of persons of noble blood, who died,
before the year 1000, yet there is not an instance known of one with a heraldic
bearing. The Pere Menestrier made a minute and extensive search through France,
Italy, Germany, and Flanders, and the most ancient Coat of Arms he was able to
discover was that upon the monumental eflBgy of a Count of Wasserburg, in the
church of St. Emeran, at Ratisbon : the ensigns were " Per fess ar. and sa. a lion
rampant counterchanged ; " and the date 1010. Yet even here *' there is good reason
to believe," says the learned Frenchman, " that this tomb was restored some time
after the Count's death by the Monks of the Abbey he had endowed."
Sir John Feme is of opinion that the science was borrowed from the Egyptians.
Sir George Mackenzie ascribes it to the age of Charlemagne, and says that it began
and grew with the feudal laws, but took its origin, perhaps, in the time of Jacob,
who, blessing his sons, gave them marks of distinction, which the twelve tribes
afterwards bore on their ensigns : but our old reliable friend, Guillim, will have it
that Heraldry — as a science in England — cannot go back to an earlier epoch than
about the year 1200. For my own part, I consider that the registry of its birth may
be found among the archives of the Holy Wars, that its cradle was rocked by the
soldiers of the Cross, and that its maturity was attained in the chivalrous age of
Feudalism.
However, at the trial of the celebrated controversy between Sir Richard Le Scrope
and Sir Robert Grosvenor, for the right to bear the arms " Az. a bend or," held
20th August, 1385, before the High Constable of England and Sir John de Multon,
Deputy to the Earl Marshal, and adjourned to 16th May, 1386, John of Gaunt, Duko
of Lancaster, deposed that the said arms were of right the arms of Sir Richard
Le Scrope, and his ancestors at the time of the Conquest, and that in the French
wars, under Edward III., one Carminow of Cornwall, challenged Sir Richard
Le Scrope's right to the same, that the dispute having been referred to six
knights, they found that the said Carminow was descended of a lineage armed " Az.
a bend or," since the time of King Arthur, and that the said Sir Richard Le Scrope
was descended of a right line of ancestors armed with the same arms since the
time of King William the Conqueror. Owen Glendower, the Welsh Prince, deposed
at the trial that the Grosveuors bore the same axaaa fi-om the time of tha
Conquest.
VL
HERALDRY.
The word Heraldry is derived from the German «§eer, a host, an army — and «§cli),
a champion ; and the term hlason, by which the science is denoted in French, English,
Itahan, and German, has most probably its origin in the German word Skgen, " to
blow the horn." Whenever a new knight appeared at a Tournament, the herald
Bonnded the trumpet, and as the competitors attended with closed vizors, it was his
duty to explain the bearing of the shield or coat-armour belonging to each. Thua,
the knowledge of the various devices and symbols was called Heraldry, and as the
announcement was accompanied with sound of trumpet, it was termed " blazoning the
arms." The Germans transmitting the word to the French, it reached us after the
Norman Conquest.
At first, armorial bearings were probably like surnames, assumed by each warrior
at his free will and pleasure ; and, as his object would be to distinguish himself and
his followers from others, his cognizance would be respected by the rest, either out of
an innate courtesy or a feeling of natural justice disposing men to recognize the right
of first occupation, or really from a positive sense of the inconvenience of being
identified or confounded with those to whom no common tie united them. Where,
however, remoteness of stations kept soldiers aloof, and extensive boundaries, and
different classes of enemies from without, subdivided the force of a kingdom into
many distinct bands and armies, opportunities of comparing and ascertaining what
ensigns had been already appropriated would be lost, and it well might happen, even
in the same country, that various families might be found unconsciously using the
same arms.
It has long been a matter of doubt when the bearing of coats of arms first
became hereditary. The Norman tiles engraved in Mr. Henniker's letter to the
Society of Antiquaries, were supposed to have fixed the date at the period of the
Norman Conquest, but Mr. Montagu very ably argues that it is not at all clear that
these tiles were of the same antiquity as " the Abbaye aux Hommes at Caen," in
which they were found ; indeed he seems to prove quite the contrary. Certain it is
that it was not until the Crusades that Heraldry came into general use. In the
History of Battell Abbey, Richard Lucy, Chief Justice temp. Henry II., is reported to
have blamed a mean subject for carrying a private seal, when that pertained, as he said,
to the King and Nobility alone. Under Edward I., seals of some sort were so general,
that the Statute of Exon ordained the coroner's jury to certify with their respective
signets, and in the following reign they became very common, so that not only such
as bore arms used to seal, but others fashioned signets, taking the letters of their own
names, flowers, knots, birds, beasts, &c. It was afterwards enacted by statute, that
every freeholder should have his proper seal of arms ; and he was either to appear at
the head court of the shire, or send his attorney with the said seal, and those who
omitted this duty were amerced or fined.
The earliest Heraldic document that has been handed down to us is a Roll op
Arms, made between the years 1240 and 1245. It contains the names and arms of
the Barons and Knights of the reign of Henry HI., and affords incontrovertible
evidence of the fact that Heraldry was at that time reduced to a science. It is
curious, too, as indicating the changes that have taken place between a period
approximating so nearly to its origin and the present ; and invaluable, as offering
contemporary testimony of the exact bearings of the ancestors of some of our most
distinguished families. This important manuscript as well as three other similar
collections, " The Siege of Carlaverock," " A Roll of Arms, temp. Edward II.," and
" A Roll of Arms, temp. Edward III.", were published by the late Sir Harris Nicolas,
accompanied by prefatory remarks and occasional notes.
" The Sikge of Carlaverock " is a poem descriptive of the Banners of the Peers
and Knights of the English army who were present at the siege of Carlaverock
Castio in Scotland, in February, 1301.
The Roll of Arms of the time of Edward II., made between the years 1308 and
1314, is divided into counties, and comprises the names and arms of about eleven
HERALDRY. vii
hnndred and sixty persons. It still remains in the Cottonian Library, British
Museum (Calig. A. xviii.).
The FoDETH Roll, temp. Edward III., appears to have been compiled between
the years 1337 and 1350. Its plan was most comprehensive, embracing the arms of
aH the Peers and Knights in England, arranged in the following order : —
I. The King, the Earls, and the Barons.
n. The Knights under their respective counties.
III. The great Personages who lived in earlier times.
Besides these Rolls, other collections of arms have been published, adding
much to our iuformation on the subject. In these ancient rolls Heraldry first
assumes the appearance of a science, and it would seem that the rules by which it is
governed then existed.
The earliest writer on the subject, whose work has descended to us, is Nicholas
Upton. His treatise was composed in the reign of Henry V., and translated in that
of his successor, in the work well known to all admirers of the art as " The Boke of
St. Albans." With the decline of chivalry the study of Heraldry was neglected, and
the exaggerated dignity to which Feme, Mackenzie, and other enthusiasts endeavoured
to raise it, only gained for it contempt ; but a taste for the study of antiquities
generally has gradually revived ; and the use of Heraldry as a key to history and
biography is becoming every day more and more acknowledged, not only in England,
but throughout Europe.
RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS.
*' Ensigns,'' says a learned writer, " were, in their first acceptation, taken up at
any gentleman's pleasure, yet hath that liberty for many ages been deny'd, and they,
by regal authority, made the rewards of merit or the gracious favours of princes."
In the reign of Henry V. the following proclamation issued, prohibiting the use
of heraldic ensigns to aU who could not show an original and valid right, except those
" who had borne arms at Agin court : " " Quod nullus cujuscunque status, gradus sen
conditionis fnerit, hujusmodi arma sive tunicas armorum in se sumat, nisi ipse jure
antecessorio vel ex donatione alicujus ad hos sufl3.cientem potestatem habentis, ea
possideat aut possidere debeat, et quod ipse arma sive tunicas illas ex cujus dono
obtinet, demonstrationis suae personis ad hoc per nos assignatis manifeste demonstret,
exceptis illis qui nobiscum apud helium de Agincourt arma portabant, &c." But,
despite the royal ordinance, a multiplicity of abuses found their way into all matters
touching descent and arms, which called aloud for reformation, and gave rise, in the
early part of the sixteenth century, to the Heralds' Visitations, documents of high
authority and value. Royal commissions were issued under the Great Seal to the two
Provincial Kings of Arms, Clarenceux and Norroy, authorising and commanding each,
by himself or his deputy, to visit the whole of his province as often as he should deem
it necessary, to summon before him aU those who bore or assumed to bear arms and
were styled esquires, to cause them to produce authority for bearing and using same,
" to peruse and take knowledge of aU manner of coat armour, cognizances, crests,
and other like devices, with the notes of the descents, pedigrees, and marriages, of all
the nobility and gentry therein ; and also to reprove, control and make infamous by
proclamation, all such as unlawfully, end without just authority, usurped or took any
name or title of honour or dignity." In these documents are set forth the principal
hereditary achievements of the kingdom.
All persons who can deduce descent from an ancestor whose armorial ensigns have
been acknowledged in any one of the Visitations, are entitled to carry those arms by
right of inheritance. When, however, no such descent can be shown, the party must,
if it be possible, prove himself to be descended from some one whose right has been
admitted ; from a Grantee ; or, in fault of that proof, must become a Grantee himself.
.^ HERALDRY.
These observations apply more especially to the usage of arms in England.
In Eno-land and "Wales, Arms are granted, nnder the authority of the Eavl
Marshal, by Grarter and one of the Provincial Kings, according to his jurisdic-
tion. In Scotland, Lyon King of Arms, and in Ireland, Ulster King of Arms,
have the sole power to grant or confirm Arms in their respective Kingdoms.
In consequence of the disturbed state of Ireland towards the close of the sixteenth
and nearly all through the seventeenth century, the very period when the English
Heralds made their Visitations, and admitted arms to all who proved their right, it
was impossible to carry out Visitations in Ireland. In fact, there are only three Irish
Visitations remaining on record, viz., Dubhn County, 1606 ; DubHn City, 1607 ;
Wexford County, 1618. To provide for this want of Visitation, Ulster King of
Arms has authority to give a Confirmation (with some slight heraldic difierence to
indicate the fact of its being a Confirmation), to a claimant who can prove to his
satisfaction that he, the claimant, and his family have used for a certain number of
generations the said arms and crest.
BLAZON OF ARMS.
Blazon, or Blason, is the proper technical description of Armorial Bearings,
according to the scientific rules of Heraldry. In blazoning a coat of arms, brevity
is to be studied, and tautology avoided, care being still taken to give a minute
description of every bearing, its position, place on the shield, tincture, &c. Though
the same metal, colour, or fur, may occur more than once, the repetition of its name
should be scrupulously guarded against, by describing the charge, which happens
to be of a tincture already mentioned, as of the first, second, or third, according to
the relative position that tincture may hold in the blazon ; for example, the arms of
Preston of Furness Abbey are, "Ar. two bars gu. on a canton of the second a
cinquefoil or." In this blazon the colour of the canton is described of the second,
to obviate the repetition of the word "gu." The next general rule to be observed
is to begin the blazon with the description of the field, its tincture or tinctures,
unless it is divided by any of the main partitions already treated, in which case the
descriptive blazon would begin as perfess,per pale, per saltire, &c. The principal
ordinary, if any, should next be described, with its tincture, &c. ; and then the
charges around it generally, giving the surcharges upon such ordinary, after those
between which it is borne ; the chief, canton, or any charge placed in a particular
point of the shield, with its surcharges, if any, being generally blazoned last.
If a coat consists of two tinctures only, it is blazoned, as in the arms of Lambton,
*' Sa. a fess between three lambs pass. ar. which indicates that both the fess and lambs
are of the tincture argent ; when the last-mentioned charge, or bearing, is of the same
tincture as that one named immediately before it, and yet cannot be included under
ono word, it is necessary to describe it as " of the last : " thus, in the arms of
DoEMER, " Az. ten billets, four, three, two and one, or, on a chief of the last a demi lion
ramp, issuant sa." Of the last is used to prevent a repetition of " or."
If there be two sets of charges of equal number on any parts of the shield, or
one set of charges on an ordinary between the same number of charges on the shield,
the repetition of the number must be avoided, by describing the second set of charges
by the words " as many." Thus, in the arms of Wilmot, " Ar. on a fess gu.
between three eagles' heads erased sa. as many escallops or : tho words " as many "
prevent the repetition of the number " three " in this example.
When charges are borne without the interposition of the ordinaries, the exact
position they occupy on the Bhic\d—fes sways, or in fess, if in line across the field ;
paleways, or in pale, if perpendicular, one over the other ; and hendways, or in
bend, if placed diagonally from the dexter chief to the sinister base, mast bcdescribcd,
as well OS the attitude and tinctures of such charges, e.g.
HERALDRY. ix
" Matjleverer (Arncliffe, co. York). Sa. three greyhounds courant in pale ar.
collared or : " in pale signifying that the greyhounds are borne perpendicularly one
above the other.
When charges are three, whether with or without ordinaries, the usual way
they are borne is two in chief and one in base, and this is understood without being
mentioned ; but if they be not so placed, or exceed the number three, their position
must be specifically described, according to the preceding rule ; or if horizontal rows,
of an equal or unequal number, their number, &c., must be stated. The last remark,
the arms of Brounckee will tend to elucidate, viz. : " Ar. six pellets in pale, three,
two, and one, a chief embattled sa.," implying that the six pellets are borne in three
rows, three in the uppermost, two in the second, and one in the lowest.
MARSHALLING ARMS.
Marshalling arms is defined by Guillim and Mackenzie to be " the conjoining of
two or more coats in one shield," or, strictly speaking, the proper arrangement
in one shield, either by impaling or quartering, of two or more ensigns,
" Impalikg " applies to the method of using the wife's arms, and is usually practised
by dividing the shield into two equal parts, and placing the husband's arms in the
dexter, with the wife's in the sinister. When there happens to be a border round
one or both of them, the portion of the border where the two coats unite is omitted.
There are, however, two rules to be attended to : —
No husband can impale his wife's arms with his own on a surcoat, ensign, or
banner, nor can a Knight of the Garter, or of any other Order, when surrounding
the shield with the motto of his knighthood, bear his wife's coat within it ; for, saith
Sandford, although the husband may give his equal half of her escutcheon, yet he
cannot share his temporary order of knighthood with her, except she be Sovereign
of the Order. This restriction is not allowed by Edmondson, who argues that there
is not a single article in all the Statutes of the Order, that debars the new-made
knight from continuing to impale, as he had done previously, his wife's arms. It has
always struck me that the churlish regulation of modern heraldry, which precludes
a knight from bearing his wife's arms within the ribbon or collar of his order, is an
anomaly. The wife of a knight shares the precedence, title, and dignity of her
husband. Why then should she be debarred participation in the heraldic bearings,
and the beautiful garter that encircles them ? This exclusion is not of ancient date.
The old Stall Plates of the Knights aSbrd proof of the contrary, and gives several
instances of husband's and wife's arms impaled within the Garter. In the monu-
ment at Stanton Harcourt there is not only the Garter tied round Lady Harcourt's
left arm, but at the head of the tomb appear the bearings of her husband impaling
within a Garter the lady's own arms.
If a man marries an heiress or co-heiress, instead of impaling his wife's arms
with his own he bears them on an escutcheon of pretence in the centre or fess
point of his paternal coat, but he cannot so bear them during the lifetime of his
wife's father. When a lady who is an heiress dies leaving her husband surviving,
his right to bear her arms on an escutcheon of pretence ceases ; the right to bear
her arms descends to her issue to be borne as a quartering. A man cannot bear his
wife's arms as an impalement after her death : he must bear his arms as before
his marriage, otherwise there is no heraldic mode of showing that his wife is dead.
The case differs, however, as regards a widow : whilst she remains such, she is
obliged to bear the arms of her deceased husband ; and I am inclined to think that a
widower should continue to impale or otherwise associate his late wife's arms with
his own if there was issue of the marriage. A husband whose wife is by descent
entitled to a shield of quarteringa, may impale all the qaartcrings his wife is entitled
to ; bafc this is not usual.
, HERALDRY.
If a commoner marry the widow of a peer he impales only the arms of his wife's
father, the lady on a subsequent marriage losing all right to any armorial bearings of
her former husband or husbands.
Edward III. appears to have been the first that quartered arms in England,
•when, in right of his mother Isabella, daughter and heiress of Philip IV. of France,
he assumed the arms, Az. semee-de-lis or, as a quartering on the national banner ;
and John Hastings, second Earl of Pembroke, was the first subject who imitated his
royal master's example, quartering, Az. six lioncels ramp, ar., in right of his grand-
mother, Julian, daughter of Thomas de Leyburn, and heiress of William de Leyburne,
summoned to Parliament 1299.
The intention of Quartering is to show the descent of one family from heiresses
or co-heiresses of other houses, and to exhibit and perpetuate this representation.
Thus, the children of an heiress are entitled, at her death, to quarter with their
paternal coat her arms, as well as all quarterings which she may have inherited. It
must be borne in mind that an heiress or co-heiress in Heraldry is, by the laws of
arms, a lady who is, by having no brother, or by her brother or brothers having died
without issue, a representative in blood of her father, and that thereby she transmits
to her descendants the right to quarter her family arms. The term " heiress " in
Heraldry does not apply to the succession to property : Andrew Lynn, Esq., of
BalHnamona, co. Waterford, disinherited his son, and bequeathed his estates to his
daughter Ann, the wife of Robert Carew, ancestor of* Lord Carew ; her descendants
inherited the estates so bequeathed, but did not acquire a right to quarter the
arms of Lynn. In marshalling quarterings, the first, after the paternal arms,
is the shield of the earliest heiress, which the bearer's direct ancestor in the
male line has married, and then succeed any quarterings her descent may bring in ;
Tfith the second heiress the same rule is followed, and so on, in chronological rotation,
to the end of the chapter.
When a daughter becomes heiress or co-heiress to her mother (also an heiress),
and not to her father, which happens when the father marries a subsequent wife,
and has by her male issue, to represent him, she is entitled to bear the maternal coat
with the arms of her father on a canton, taking all the quarterings to which her
mother was, by descent, entitled. When married, she conveys the whole to be
borne on an escutcheon of pretence, and transmits them at her death to be borne as
quarterings by her descendants, the paternal canton on the first shield still indicating
the nature of the representation.
If an heiress E.B., marry first F.G., and have a son R.G., and marry secondly
H.I., and have by her second husband an only child, a daughter, S.I., the son of
this lady S.I., viz., T.N., would quarter the arms of that second husband as well
&3 the arms of his grandmother E.B. This point has been thus settled by the
Heralds' College in London, but the question requires farther consideration and
adjudication before it can be finally admitted.

being, if I may so expi-ess it, married to the church, the arms of the See on the
dexter side, and his family arms on the sinister, but if he be married, he does not
carry his wife's arms on his shield. On his hatchment he uses two shields, the first on
the dexter side, viz., the arms of his See impaled with his own arms, surmounted with
a mitre, the second on the dexter, his own arms impaled with his wife's, in the same
way as knights of the different Orders.
If a man marry a widow, he impales her maiden arms. A widower entering on
a second marriage, marshals with his own the arms only of his second wife. He is
not, according to the laws of arms, entitled to continue the usa^e of his deceased
wife's ensigns.
THE SHIELD OF ARMS.
According to the received authorities, there are ten classes of arms : —
1. Arms of Dominion, those borne by Sovereigns and annexed to the territories
they govern.
2. Arms of Pretension, used by Sovereigns who are not in possession of the
dominions to which such arms belong, but who claim, or pretend a right to them.
Thus the Kings of England from Edward III. to George III. quartered the arms of
France.
3. Arms op Community, those of bishoprics, universities, cities, and other
corporate bodies.
4. Arms op Assumption, adopted without the grant of the Sovereign or of a
King-of-Arms, and used as a proper right. For instance, if a prince or nobleman be
taken prisoner in lawful war, the victor may bear the arms of the person so taken,
and transmit them to his heirs.
5. Arms of Alliance : these are adopted by families or private persons, and
are joined with their ovra heraldic bearings to denote the alliance which they have
contracted by marriage. Arms of this description are impaled, or are borne in an
escutcheon of pretence by those who have married heiresses. But the latter arrange-
ment (that of the separate escutcheon) is not allowed until the death of the father of
the lady.
6. Arms of Adoption are borne by a stranger in blood, and are specially granted
by the Sovereign to empower the person applying for them to obtain certain moneys
or estates bequeathed on the condition of his assuming the name and arms of the
testator.
7. Arms op Concession or Honourable Augmentation are peculiar marks of
honour granted by the Sovereign for some act deserving of royal approbation.
8. Arms Paternal and Hereditary are those transmitted from the first
possessor to his heirs ; the son being a gentleman of second coat armour ; the grand-
son a gentleman of blood ; and the great-grandson a gentleman of ancestry.
The Shield admits of various forms, and is divided into nine integral parts to-
mark the position of the several charges, but I shall only here allude to the relative
positions of the principal parts.
First, it is to be observed, that the side of the escutcheon opposite the left hand
of the person looking at it, is the dexter, or right side, and that opposite to the right
hand, the sinister, or left. The centre of the shield is called the fess point ; the top of
the dexter side, the dexter chief ; the top of the sinister side, the sinister chief.
The hottom of the shield is called the hose, and its respective sides are called the
dexter and sinister base.
The Colours common to shields and their bearings are called tinctures, and are
of seven different kinds ; two metaLs and five colours, viz., or, gold ; argent, silver j
azuTGy blue ; gules, red ; vert, green ; purpure, purple ; and scMe, black. Some writers
^ HERALDRY.
on the science admit two additional, tawney, or tenec, orange ; and sanguine, blood
colour ; but they are rarely to be met with in British Arms.
When natural objects are introduced into Heraldry, they are often represented in
their ordinary colours, and this is expressed by the term proper.
A shield is said to be quartered when it is divided into four equal parts by
horizontal and perpendicular lines crossing the centre ; that at the top of the dexter
side is called the first quarter ; the top of the sinister side is called the second quarter ;
the tTiird quarter is at the bottom of the dexter side, and the bottom of the sinister
side is the fourth quarter. When the shield is divided into two equal parts by a
perpendicular line, it is called impaling : the dexter being the man's side, the sinister
the woman's. Dividing the shield into two equal parts by a horizontal line is called
per f ess.
Charges arc the various figures depicted on shields, by which the bearers are
distinguished from one another.
All charges of Arms are either proper or common ; those charges are said to be
proper which by a certain property do particularly belong to the Art of Heraldry, and
are of ordinary use therein : hence they are styled " Ordinaeies :" the common charges
are the representations of all the emblems which retain their own names in the blazon.
The principal Ordinaries are — the Chief, the Pale, the Bend, the Fess, the Cross,
the Saltire, and the Chevron. The Sub-Ordinaries are — the Border, the Orle, the
Inescdtcheon, the Quarter, the Canton, the Paile or Pall, the Gyeon, the Pile, the
Flaunch, &c.
Differences, or Marks of Cadency, are the distinctions used to indicate the
various branches or cadets of one family. The eldest son (during the lifetime of his
father) bears a Label ; the second, a Crescent ; the third, a Mullet ; the fourth,
a Martlet ; the fifth, an Annulet ; the sixth, a Fleur-de-lis ; the seventh, a
Rose ; the eighth, a Cross-Moline ; the ninth, a double Quatrefoil.
The mode of using these marks of cadency, as practised by the Heralds' College,
London, and Ulster's Office, Dublin, is to carry them down to the third generation.
There is no rule as to the colours of cadency marks except one, the label of three
points must not be argent except for the Royal Family ; but the same heraldic rule
applies to these marks as to ordinary heraldic charges, colour cannot lie on colour, or
metal on metal.
If a younger son, say a third son, who bears a mullet for difference, assume by
Royal Licence an additional surname, in addition to and after his own surname, and
the arms belonging to that assumed surname, which would consequently be borne in
the first quarter of his escutcheon, it is not necessary for him to continue the
mark of cadency, as the compound coat is sufficient to distinguish him from the
head of the family -, if, however, he wish to use the mark of cadency, it should bo
borne in the fess point of the compound coat.
ATTITUDES OR POSITIONS OF ANIMALS, BIRDS, AND FISHES.
When a lion or other beast of prey stands upright, with only one ear and one
eye seen, with the head in profile, he is termed rampant; when walking forward,
with one eye and ear seen, passant ; when sitting, sejant ; when lying down, couchant.
If in any one of these positions the animal look full face, so that both eyes and
cars may be seen, the word guardant is annexed to passant, rampant, sejant, or
couchant, a.s the case may be ; and if he look back, the word reguardant. An
animal is salient when leaping forwards bendways and having both the hind legs in
the same position.
To griffins the term segreant is given, in place of rampant. Animals of the deer
kind have their positions otherwise blazoned. Thus, when looking full-faced, they
HERALDRY. xiii
are said to be at gaze; vfhen standing, statant ; when walking, tripping; when
leaping forward, springing ; when rnnning, courant ; and when at rest on the ground,
lodged.
A horse when running is blazoned courant, or in full speed; when leaping,
salient, cahre, or effray ; when rearing, forcene, but these three last terms are very
seldom met with.
Birds are blazoned, when standing with their wings down, close; when preparing
to fly, rising; when flying, volant; when spread open, with both wings stretched
out, and their breasts seen, displayed. The wings open and against each other are
called indorsed. Two wings conjoined and expanded are calle a vol. One wing is a
demivol.
Fishes, when placed horizontally, are naiant ; when perpendicularly, hauriant ;
when drawn in an arched form like a dolphin, they are embowed.
Any heraldic figure placed on or apparently emanating from an ordinary or
other charge is called issuant. The term jessant is applied either to a general issuing
of one charge from another, as "a chevron jessant-de-lis," or to the common
device of a leopard's or lion's head "jessant-de-lis." A fish or amphibious creature
is described as naissant from an ordinary when any portion of the body with the tail
is seen. A serpeat placed horizontally is said to be gliding.
CRESTS, TORCES OS WREATHS, AND BADGES.
The Crest yields in honour to none of the heraldic insignia. It was the emblem
that served, when the banner was rent asunder, and the shield broken, as a rallying
point for the knight's followers, and a distinguishing mark of his own prowess. The
Crest, named by the French Cimier, from Cime, the top or apex, and by the Italians
Gimiero, originated in the necessity of distinguishing one chief from another, and
making him known in the battle-field and the tournament ; consequently, no crest is
ever allowed to a female. As early as the yesir 1101, a seal of Philip, Count of
Flanders, represents him with his crest ; but at that period, and for a century and a
half after, few of lesser degree than sovereigns and commanders in the wars ventured
to carry this mark of distinction. The first example of a crest upon the helmet
among English sovereigns occurs in the second great seal of Richard Coeur de Lion.
The helmet has several vertical openings in front, and upon the top is placed a
golden lion guardant. The seal, too, of Roger de Quincy, Earl of Winchester, one of
the holy warriors of the reign of Henry III., exhibits on a cylindrical casque a
dragon as a device. After the institution, however, of the Garter, the knights o£
that illustrious order adopted crests, and the practice soon became so general,
that these emblems were assumed indiscriminately, by all those who considered
themselves legally entitled to a coat armour.*
At their first adoption, crests were usually assumed from some charge in the
shield ; and thus, in very many ancient houses, we find the crest a mere emanation of
the arms. Little information remains to us of the crests borne by the early nobility ;
aud the little we do possess we owe to monumental effigies and illuminated manu-
scripts. Froissart, in particular, affords many curious examples. Nisbet and some
other writers contend that these heraldic ornaments might be changed according to
the good pleasure of the bearer, but this has long been forbidden by the Kings of
Arms. If crests be the distinguishing tokens by which families may be known (and
• The monument of Sir Oliver de Ingham, in Ingham church, Norfolk, who lived temp. Edward
m., "affords," says Meyrick, "one of the earliest specimens of the jousting helmet of his times, sur-
mounted by its crest ; and the sepulchral effigy of Sir John Harsick is a remarkable example of
English armour towards the close of the reign of the second Richard. The knight is represented
with his helmet on, over his coat of chained mail, so as to display the mode of wearing the crest and
the muntle."
:riv HERALDRY.
this seems mcsf; assuredly to be the intention of the device), one might as well alter
a coat of arms as an hereditary crest. Still, however, circumstances may arise in
•which a change becomes desirable ; but this should never be made on slight or
•unimportant grounds. In early times, Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk, Earl
Marshal of England, was, by the special concession of Richard II., allowed to carry
the crest of England — " the lion passant guardant or ; " and John Howard, in a
subsequent reign, having married the daughter and heiress of Mowbray, substituted
for the old crest of Howard, viz., " two wings, each charged with the family arms,"
the new but honourable cognizance of the golden lion.
No one is entitled to more than one crest unless he bears two surnames, or has
received the additional device by a specific grant. The Germans, indeed, have long
been accustomed to display in a row over their shields of arms the crests of all the
houses whose ensigns they quarter ; but their heraldry is peculiar, differing from that
of the other countries of Europe. In truth, the impropriety of the practice of
carrying more than one crest is remarkably striking, if we consider for a moment the
purpose for which these cog^nizances were first designed.
Originally crests were carved in light wood, or made of boiled leather passed
into a mould, in the form of some animal real or fictitious, and were fastened to the
helmet by the torce or wreath, which was formed of two pieces of silk, " twisted
together by the lady who chose the bearer for her knight." The tinctures of the
•wreath are always those of the principal metal and colour of the arms ; and it is a rule iu
delineating the -wreath (shown edgewise above the shield) that the first coil shall be
of the metal, and the last of the colour of which the achievement is constituted.
Such are the wreaths in general use. In depicting arms the wreath consists of six
twists ; when the crest is placed on a cap of maintenance, or on, or issuing out of a
ducal or other crown, the wreath is not borne. The colours and metals of Liveries are
governed by the tinctures of the wreath, or in its absence by the principal metal and
colour of the arms ; thus, if the principal metal of the arms be argent, the buttons
and lace of the livery is silver ; if or, they are gilt. The cloth is blue, red, black, or
green, according to the prevailing colour in the arms ; if the colour be red, the colour
of the livery may be modified to claret colour ; if the field of the arms be a metal,
and the charge an animal of its proper colour, and no other colour depicted in the
arms, the colour of the livery should follow as near as possible the proper colour of
the charge. The most usual colour used in such cases is brown.
Crests have sometimes, but very improperly, been confounded with " badges,"
altogether distinct de-vices, intended to distinguish the retainers of certain great
noblemen, and wrought or sewn upon the liveries with which they were supplied by
their lord. The badge appeared also emblazoned on the chief's standard or pennon, and
was much esteemed until the reign of Queen Elizabeth, when the last brilliant relics of
the feudal system — the joust, the tournament, and all their accompanying parapher-
nalia— fell into disuse. Henry II. bore an escarbuncle or ; and also introduced the
famous badge borne so constantly by his successors, of the broom sprig or Planta
Gcnistffi (" II portait ung Gennett entre deux Plantes de Geneste ") ; and his son,
Richard I., on assuming the title of King of Jerusalem, hoisted the banner of the
Holy City — the dormant lion of Judah — the badge of David and Solomon. Edward I.
had a rose, stalk green and petals gold. Edward II. commemorated his Castilian
descent by the badge of a gold tower. Edward III. bore " silver clouds with rays
descending." Richard H. adopted the white hart,t the device of his mother, the
Fair Maid of Kent, and used besides a Wliite Falcon; and his successor, Henry IV.,
t " Among the few friends who attended Richard H. after his capture by the Earl of Northum-
berland, was Jenico d'Artois, a Qascoigno, that etill wore the cognizance or device of his master, King
Bichard, that is to say, a white hart, and would put it away from him neither by persuasion nor
throats ; by reason whereof, when the Duke of Lancaster understood it, ho caused him to be
committed to prison, within the Castle of Chester. This man was the last (as saith mine author) which
wore that device, which showed well thereby his constant heart towards his master." — Holmshed.

introduced the red rose of Lancaster, which became ever after the badge of tho
Lancastrians, as opposed to the white rose of Tork. He also had for cognizance tho
antelope, as well as the silver swan of the De Bohnns. When he entered the
lists against Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk, his caparisons were embroidered with
the antelope and swan. Henry of Agincourt carried a beacon and fleur-de-lis
crowned. " The white rose, en soleil," denotes the fourth Edward, and " the white
boar," the third Richard. Henry VI. had for badge a Panther, and also two ostrich
feathers in saltire, one silver, the other gold. His Queen, Margaret of Anion,
adopted a " daisy," in allusion to her name :
" The daise a floure white and rede,
In French called la belle Margarete."
Henry VII. carried " the red dragon " of Wales, and also the porfccnllis as well as the
red and white roses combined, emblematic of the union of the rival houses. " In the
marriage procession of Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York," says an agreeable writer,
*' each partizan of Lancaster gave his hand to a lady of the York party, holding a
bouquet of two roses, red and white entwined ; and at the birth of Prince Henry,
the armorists composed a rose of two colours (the leaves alternating red and white),
as an emblematical offspring of the marriage. Horticulturists, too, forced nature
into an act of loyalty, and produced a psirty-coloured flower known to the present day
as the rose of York and Lancaster."
The same cognizances were used by Henry VIII, and Edward VI., the former
of whom displayed sometimes a greyhound courant and collared ; and at others, after
the seige of Boulogne, a white swan, the arms of that city. Queen Mary, before
Ler accession, adopted the red and white roses, but added a pomegranate, to show
her descent from Spain ; but, on assuming the sceptre, she took " Winged Time
drawing Truth out of a pit," with "Veritas temporis filia" for motto. The badges
of Queen Elizabeth were the red and white roses, the fleur-de-lis, and the Irish harp,
all ensigned by the royal crown, to which James I. added the Scottish thistle. Many
of the greater nobility followed the royal example ; Beauchamp had " the bear and
ragged stafE ; " FitzAlan, " the white horse of Arundel ; " Vere, " the blue boar ; "
Percy, " the crescent and manacle ; " Stafford and Bourchier, *' the knot,"
THE MOTTO.
The Motto is, according to Guillim, "a word, saying, or sentence which gentle-
men carry in a scroll under the arms, and sometimes over the crest." It had its
origin, most probably, in the " cri de guerre," or the watchword of the camp, and its
use can be traced to a remote period. Camden assigns the reign of Henry III. as the
date of the oldest motto he ever met with, that of William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby,
who encircled his shield with the legend, " Lege, lege ; " and the same antiquary
mentions the old seal of Sir Thomas Cavall, who bore for his arms a horse, and for
Lis motto, " Thom8B credite, cum cernitis ejus equum." Other authorities, however,
refer to several cases, that of Trafibrd of Trafford in particular, and carry up the
mottoes to a much earlier epoch. Be this as it may, their general usage may be
accurately dated, if not from an earlier period, certainly from the institution of the
0»der of the Garter ; and after that celebrated event they became very general, and
daily gained in public favour. During the wars of Henry V., Henry VI., and
Henry VIII., innumerable mottoes graced the shields of the waniors of the time,
and in the courtly days of Queen EUzabeth devices were especially fashionable.
Mottoes may be taken, changed, or relinquished, when and as often as the bearer
thinks fit, and may be exactly the same as those of other persons. Still, however^
the pride of ancestry will induce most men to retain, unaltered, the time-honoured
sentiment which, adopted in the first instance as the memorial of some noble action,
some memorable war-cry, or a record of some ancient family descent, has been handed
down from sire to son through a long series of generations.
xn
HERALDRT.
" Montjoye Sfc. Denis " was the cri de guerre of the French kings, " St. Andrew '*
of the Scottish monarchs, and "St. George for merry England," of the English.
" Dieu ayde au premier Chretien " rallied the Montmorencys ; and " A Douglas ! a
Dono-las ! " was not infrequently heard on the English borders, in answer to the
Percy " Esperance."
The same conceit, as in Heraldic Bearings, of accommodating the motto to the
name, has prevailed occasionally either in Norman-French or Latin : thus we have
" Mon Dieu est ma roche," for Roche, Lord Fermoy ; "Let Curzon holde what Curzon
helde," for Curzon; " Strike Dakyns, the devil's in the hempe," for Dakyns ; " Cavendo
tutus," for Cavendish ; " Forte scutum salus ducum," for Fortesnue ; " Set on," for
Seton, Earl of Winton; "Ne vile velis," for Neville ; " Vero nihil verius," for Vere; aud
♦' Ver non semper viret," for Vernon.
How admirably suited is " Pro magna charta " to the Premier Barony, Le Des-
pencer ; and how plaintive is the expressive motto adopted by the oace regal
Courtenays of Powderham, after the loss of the Earldom of Devon, " Ubi lapsus f
quid feci?" The " Fuimus " of the Earl of Elgin tells that the Bruces were once
Kings ; and the " Crom a boo " of the Geraldines recalls the time when an Act of
Parliament made it treason to repeat that famous war-cry.
Mottoes are also frequently allusive to the arms and crests, and very often
commemorative of some deed of chivalry. With reference to " the Hedgehog," the crest
of the Kyrles of Herefordshire, the family of " the Man of Ross," is the inscription
" Nil moror ictus " (I do not care for blows) ; the Gores, whose ensigns comprise the
cross crosslet, have " In hoc signo vinces." " Caen, Cressie, Calais," the motto of
the Radclyffes, commemorates the services of Sir John Radclyffe, Knt., of Ordsali,
at the seiges of Caen and Calais, and at the battle of Cressy ; and " Boulogne et Cadiz,"
borne by the Heygate family, records the presence of their ancestor at those famous
seiges.
" Grip Fast," the device of the Leslies, has remained unchanged since the time
of Margaret, Qaeen of Scotland, by whom it was given to Bartholomew Leslie, the
founder of the family, under the following circumstances : — In crossing a river,
swollen by floods, the Queen was thrown from her horse, and in danger of being
drowned, when the knight, plunging into the stream, seized hold of the royal girdle,
and as he brought her with difficulty towards the bank, she frequently exclaimed,
*' Grip fast," words which she desired her preserver to retain for his motto, in
remembrance of this circumstance.
The traditionary origin of "Lamh dearg Erin " (the Red Hand of Ireland), the
motto of the O'Neills, is this : — In an ancient expedition of some adventurers to
Ireland, their leader declared that whoever first touched the shore should possess the
territory which he reached. The ancestor of the O'Neills, Princes of Ulster, bent
upon obtaining the reward, and seeing another boat likely to land, cut his hand o£E
and threw it upon the coast.
Many mottoes are allusive either to a portion of the heraldic bearings, or to the-
family surname. " Leoni non sagittis fido," I trust to the lion not to the arrows, is that
of the Egertons, whose shield exhibits a lion between three pheons ; and the Martins
use these singular words ; " He who looks at Martin's ape, Martin's ape shall look at
him ! " having reference to their crest, of " an ape observing himself in a looking-
glass." The AiTONs of Kippo, a branch of Aiton, of that Ilk, adopted for mottOr
" Et decerptoo dabunt odorem," an elegant allusion to their crest of "a rose bough
ppr," and of their being an offshoot of the parent stem.
The generality of mottoes, however, are expressive of sentiments of piety, hope,
or determination.
Many of the most ancient houses in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, adopted for
their motto the slogan or war-cry of their sept, which was sometimes derived from the
name of the chieftain's feudal castle ; thus Colquhoun of Luss bears " Cnockelachan ; "
Fitz- Gerald of Lcinster, " Crom a boo ; " and Ilughss of Gwerclas, " Kymmer-yu-
HERALDRY. xvi.
Edeirnion." The descendants of Irish families also adopted the war-cry of their
septs as mottoes ; thus O'Brien, " Lamh laidir an nachtar," The strong hand upper-
most, "Lamh dearg Erin," The red hand of Ireland; O'Hagan, " Buadh no has,"
Victory or death ; O'Donovan, " GioUa ar a-namhuid a-bu," A man over his enemy
for ever; O'Gorman, " Tosach catha agus deineadh Slvc,'" First in battle and fierce in
slaughter; O'Doinn, " MuUach a-bu," The tops of the mountains for ever, &c., &c.
Mottoes not infrequently indicate the antiquity and derivation of the families by
whom they are borne. In " Loywl as thow fynds," we recognise the Saxon origin of
the Tempests of Tong, and in " Tou^-s jours prest," the Norman ancestry of the
Talbots of Bashall : but this rule is far from being general : many families of Norman
origin used English mottoes at a very early period, as Darell of Calehill, " Trow to
you."
CROWNS, CORONETS, CHAPEAUX, HELMETS, AND MANTLES.
Crowns were not originally marks of sovereignty, but were bestowed on those
who gained a prize at the Olympic games, and at first were only bands or fillets, but
subsequently they assumed various forms according to the peculiar feat of valour the
person to whom they were granted performed.
The Crown, a distinctive badge of royalty, was anciently made open, but is
now closed at the top with four arches and is usually called the Imperial Grown.
That used at the coronation of the Sovereigns of England is made in imitation
of the Crown supposed to have been worn by Edward the Confessor. The present
imperial Crown has the rim adorned with four crosses pattee, and as many fleurs-de-lis
alternately. From each cross rises an arched diadem closed at the top under a
mound supporting a cross. The cap within the Crown is of purple velvet (heraldic-
ally represented crimson), and turned up with ermine. See p. xlix.
The Coronet of the Prince of Wales is, according to a warrant of Charles II,
dated 19 February, 1660, composed of a circle or fillet of gold, adorned with four
crosses pattee, and as many fleurs-de-lis alternately ; from the two centre crosses rises
an arched diadem, closed at the top under a mound supporting a cross, one arch only
from the centre cross appearing in the representation. The cap is of crimson velvet,
lined with white sarsnet, and turned up with ermine. The Prince of Wales also bears
as a badge a plume of three ostrich feathers, encircled by a coronet adorned with
crosses and fleurs-de-lis ; the motto peculiar to this badge being " Ich dien."
The Coronet of the Princes of the Blood Royal is similar to that of the Prince
of Wales, without the arched diadem. The cap is of crimson velvet, bordered with
ermine, with a tassel of gold.
The Princesses bear a similar Coronet, but instead of the four crosses and as
many fleurs-de-lis, it is adorned with three strawberry leaves alternately, with a
similar number of fleurs-de-lis and crosses.
The Arms and Coronets of the Members of the Royal Family are always assigned
by the Sovereign to them individually.
The Coronet of a Duee is composed of a circlet of gold, chased as jewelled,
having raised on it eight golden strawberry leaves, five of which are seen in repre-
sentation. The cap is of crimson velvet, turned up ermine, thereon a golden tassel.
It is sometimes used as a charge in armorial bearings, when it is called a Ducal
Coronet, and is represented with only three strawberry leaves, and without the cap,
tassel, or ermine.
The Coronet of a Marquess is a circlet of gold, chased as jewelled, charged
with four strawberry leaves and as many large pearls alternately ; when represented,
only two pearls and three leaves appear. The cap is similar to that of a Duke.
An Earl's Coronet is a circlet of gold, chased as jewelled, upon which rise eight
pyramidical points gold, each of which supports a large silver ball, the spaces between
xviii HERALDRY.
the points being filled up at the bottom with strawberry leaves of gold, not rising
as high as the balls. Only five of the balls appear when heraldically displayed.
The cap is the same as the Duke's and Marquess's.
A Viscount's Coronet is a circlet of gold, cbased as jewelled, supporting sixteen
silver balls, seven of which appear in the representation.
The Coronet of a Baron is a plain circlet of gold, thereon six silver balls, four of
which are seen in the representation.
The two last-named Coronets have the crimson velvet cap with the tassel, and
the edging of ermine, the same as those of a Duke, Marquess, and Earl. See p. xxxiv.
The Coronet of a King of Arms is silver gilt, formed of a circle, upon which is
inscribed part of the first verse of the 51st Psalm, viz., " Miserere mei Deus secundum
magnam misericordiam tuam ; " the rim is surmounted with sixteen leaves, in shape
resembling the oak leaf, every alternate one being somewhat higher than the rest,
nine of which appear in the profile view of it ; the cap is of crimson satin, closed at
the top by a gold tassel, and turned up with ermine. See p. xxxiv.
A crest-coronet or ducal coronet, on which, or issuing from which crests are
often borne, is composed of a circlet of gold chased and jewelled, having raised on it
four strawberry leaves, three of which appear in representation.
As the Crown of the Sovereign of England is not exactly similar to those borne
by other potentates, so most of the Coronets of foreign noblemen are different from
those of British peers.
Archbishops and Bishops bear the arms of their Sees impaled with their own
family arms, without crest or motto, and with a mitre over the shield. The mitre of
both Archbishops and Bishops is (with the exception of the mitre of the Bishop of
Durham) exactly the same. It is a high golden cap, enriched with jewels, pointed
and divided at the top, with fringed pendants hanging from the lower part ; each top
is surmounted by a cross, the present usual form of which is that of a cross-pattee.
The mitre of the Bishop of Durham differs from that of the other Prelates in being
encircled with a ducal coronet.
The Helmet, helme, casque, or, morion, varied in shape in different ages and
countries. See p. xxxiii.
The Mantle, Guillim informs us, was named from the French word " Manteau"
and served as a protection (being spread over and pendent from the helmet) "to repel
the extremity of wet, cold, and heat, and withal to preserve the accoutrements from
mst." Guillim thus continues : " Mantles, like other habits, have not escaped trans-
formation, but have passed through the forge of fanatical conceit, in so much as
(beside the bare name) there remaineth neither shape nor shadow of a mantle. But
as they are used in achievements, whether you call them mantles or flourishings, they
are evermore said in blazon to be doubled, that is, lined throughout with some one
of the furs."
The mantle is sometimes termed a Lambrequin or Lamequin. The numerous
strips and cuts into which it is usually divided, are supposed to indicate that it has
been thus torn and hacked in the field of battle, and betokened a certain evidence of
prowess.
The Chapeau (cap of maintenance or dignity) is of crimson velvet, lined with
ermine, turned up into points at the back. It was formerly a badge of high dignity,
and is now borne under the crest of several eminent families, instead of the wreath.
SUPPORTERS.
Sdpporters date from the fourteenth century. Menestrier and other authorities
ascribe their origin to a practice at the tournaments, and the ground on which they
base their opinions Hccms tenable enough. In those chivalrous pastimes no one was
suffered to participate but he who was of noble descent or warlike renown, and each
HERALDRY. xix
champion, to prove his title to those qualifications, exhibited his armorial shield upon
the barriers and pavilions within the lists. Pages and esquires attended to watch
their masters' escutcheons, and to report the name and quality of any knight who
thought proper to challenge to the encounter. The chroniclers further relate, that on
these occasions the armour bearers, who were thus employed, assumed the most
grotesque, fantastic costume, enveloping themselves in the skins of lions or bears, and
that hence arose the custom of using supporters. Of these masquerade characters,
several curious specimens may be found in the illuminated manuscripts of Froissart,
in the British Museum.
The appropriation of supporters, as legitimate parts of armorial bearings, does
not appear to have been recognised in England, earlier than the reign of Edward III.
An heraldic document, compiled by Cooke, Clarenceux, in 1572, indicates the various
changes the royal supporters underwent : Edward III. adopted dexter, a lion rampant;
and sinister, a raven, both crowned ; Richard II. a lion and a stag ; Henry IV. an
antelope and a swan ; Henry V. a lion and an antelope ; Henry VI. an antelope and
a leopard; Edward IV. a bull and a lion; Richard III. a lion and a boar; Henry VII.
a dragon and a greyhound ; Henry VIII. the same ; Edward VI. a lion and a dragon
Mary I., an eagle and a dragon ; and Queen Elizabeth the same as her brother Edward.
King James I., on ascending the English throne, introduced the unicorn of Scotland,
and from that monarch's reign to our own times the lion and the unicorn have
remained the royal supporters.
The position of these external ornaments of the shield is, in genuine and ancient
Heraldry, always erect ; and surely nothing qan be more at variance with true
blazonry than the absurd attempt of some modern artists to display them in
picturesque attitudes. Thus the characteristics of a rude and contemporary era are
violently destroyed, and the vestiges of the graphic art confused or annihilated.
In England the right to bear supporters is confined to Peers of the Realm,
Knights of the Garter, the Thistle, and St. Patrick ; Knights Grand Cross of
THE Bath (G.C.B.) ; Knights Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George
(G.C. St. M. St. G.) ; and to those Baronets and others (of which the number
is extremely limited) who may have obtained them by special grant. The prac-
tice of the Sovereigns of England granting Supporters to the Peers of each
degree, seems to have commenced in the reign of Henry VIII., as did that of
granting the like ornaments to the Knights of the Garter and Bath. Further,
in addition to these. Supporters are assumed and borne, but without any legal
right, by the heirs apparent of dukes, marquesses, and earls, and by all the
children of peers, to whom courtesy allows the prefix of "Lord." In ancient
times, too, many eminent though unentitled families used these appurtenances
to their shields. Edmondson says, " It may be justly concluded that those who
used such additions to their shields, or on their shields, banners, or monuments,
or had them carved in stone or wood, or depicted on the glass windows of their
mansion, and in the churches, chapels, and religious houses of their foundation, as
perspicuous evidences and memorials of their having a possessory right to them, are
fully and absolutely well entitled to bear them, and that no one of their descendants
ever ought to alienate such supporters, or bear their arms without them." Among the
distinguished houses that use supporters under these circumstances, we may mention
those of Fulford of Great Fulford, Devon, Trevanion of Cornwall, Savage of Cheshire,
Stawell and Luttrell of Somersetshire, Hilton of Hilton, and Tichborne of Tichborne.
In Ireland, the heads of the different septs assert their claim to them, but no registry
of supporters to an Irish chieftain appears in Ulster's Office, in right of his chief taincv
only, and without the honour of peerage, nor does any authority to bear them exist.
In Scotland, the right to supporters belongs to the representatives of minor barons
who had full baronial rights prior to 1587, and to the heads of a limited number of
importajit families, including the chiefs of the more considerable clans. Lyon may
also confer supporters e gratia, a prerogative which, generally speaking, has been very
XX HERALDRY.
sparingly exercised. Nova Scotia baronets have, as such, no right to supporters,
though many of them bear them in respect of the baronial qualification.
BANNERS AND STANDARDS.
The Banner is coeval with the introduction of Heraldry, and dates consequently
from the twelfth century. It was of nearly a square form, exhibiting the owner's
arms, and it served as the rallying point of the several divisions of which the army
was composed. To judge from the siege of Carlaverock, it would seem that early in
the fourteenth century there was a banner to every twenty-five or thirty men-at-
arms, and that thus the battle array was marshalled, kt that period the English
forces comprised the tenants in capite of the Crown, with their followers ; and it
appears that such tenants were entitled to lead their contingent under a banner of
their arms ; but the precise number of men so furnished, which conferred this
privilege, has not been ascertained. When the tenant in capite was unable to attend
in person, from illness or other cause, he nevertheless sent his quota of soldiers or
archers which the tenure of his lands enjoined, and his banner was committed to the
charge of a deputy of equal rank to his own. Thus, at Carlaverock, the Bishop of
Durham sent one handred and sixty of his men-at-arms, with his banner entrusted to
John de Hastings; and "the good Edmund, Lord d'Eyncourt," who could not
attend himself, sent " ses deux bons filz en son lieu mist," (his two brave sons
in his stead), and with them his banner of "" blue, billetee of gold with a dancette
over all."
The right to bear a banner was confined to bannerets and persons of higher
rank. In 1361, Edward III. granted to Sir Gruy de Bryan two hundred marks a year
for having discreetly borne the king's banner at the siege of Calais in 1347 ; and
Thomas Strickland, the esquire who so gallantly sustained the banner of Henry V. at
Agincourt, urged the service as worthy of remuneration from Henry VI. In France,
80 long as the chivalry of the old regime endured, and the observances derived from
St. Louis, Francis I., and Louis XIV. were respected, the custody of the Oriflamme
was hereditary; and still in Scotland the representative of the great house of
Scrymgeour enjoys the honour of being banner-bearer to the sovereign. Ireland
claims a higher antiquity in the use of banners and standards than any other
European nation — penetrating even beyond the Christian era. The office of
standard-bearer was hereditary in families, as, for instance, the O'Hanlons were
hereditary standard-bearers to the O'Neills, and the Mac AfEreys to the McGuires.
"Three lions rampant " were borne on the banner of O'Brien, and " the red hand "
was emblazoned on that of O'Neill. The different septs or clans rushed to battle with
their banners borne aloft, and uttering war-cries. That of O'Brien, iam^ laider a-bu !
*' The strong hand for ever ! " but after the Anglo-Norman period these war cries became
Anglicised, as, for instance, "O'Neill a-bu!" " O'Donnell a-bu!" i.e., "O'Neill
for ever," " O'Donnell for ever." The great Anglo-Norman families followed the
example, by adopting similar war-cries. The Fitz-Geralds had " Crom a-bu!" the
Butlers of Ormonde, "Butler a-bu!" and the Burkes or De Burgos had " Clanrickard
a-bu ! " and " MocWilliam a-bu ! "
The Standard was long and narrow, and split at the end. In the upper part
of the English standard appeared the Cross of St. George, the remainder being
charged with the motto, crest, or badge, but never with the arms. It is difficult to
determine the qualifications which constituted a right to a standard, but there is
reason to believe that no person under the rank of a knight could use one.
The length of the standards varied according to the rank of the bearer ; the
King's was from eight to nine yards in length ; that of a Duke seven yards ; of a
Marquess, six yards and a half; of an Earl, six yards ; of a Viscount, six yards and
HERALDRY. xxi
a half ; of a Baron five yards ; of a Banneret, four yards and a half; and of a Knight,
four yards.
Two manuscripts in the British Museum, not older in date than the reign of
Henry VIII., afford the most authentic information as to the size of banners,
standards, and pennons. A. question having been recently raised as to what is the
proper flag (if any) to be hoisted over a private gentleman's mansion, and what the
correct armorial bearings to be displayed thereon, it appears there is not any
direct authority or rule on the subject, but it is understood that the flag (if allowed)
should display the arms of the possessor of the mansion only, and though the
banner of St. George has been sometimes used, and the Union Jack has been also
displayed, this seems to be an error, as no right exists for such.
HATCHMENTS.
How many are there who look on these heraldic decorations as mere general
emblems of mortality, indicating nothing more than that a death has lately occurred.
Yet we can, on making ourselves acquainted with the simple rules by which the
arrangement of several achievements is regulated, at once know what rank the
deceased held when Kving. If the hatchment be that of a lady, whether she was
unmarried, a wife, or widow ; if that of a gentleman, whether he was a bachelor, a
married man, or a widower.
To show how easily this information can be acquired, I will briefly state the
several distinctions.
On the morning of interment, a hatchment is placed on the front of the house
belonging to the deceased, and another over the vault or tomb after burial.
The funeral escutcheon of a bachelor, represents his paternal arms single, or
quartered with those to which he may be entitled, and accompanied with the helmet,
crest, and motto. The ground of the hatchment (the vacant canvas of each side of
the shield) is black.
For a viaiden, her paternal arms are placed in a lozenge, single or quartered as
those of a bachelor, with no other ornament than a gold cord loosely knotted at the
top of the lozenge. The ground outside the shield is, like the former hatchment,
black.
When a husband dies, leaving his wife surviving, the ground on the dexter side
of the hatchment (that is, the side of the escutcheon opposite the left hand of the
person looking at it) is black ; and that on the sinister side (opposite the right hand
of the spectator) is white. The arms in this case are impaled, that is, divided by a
perpendicular line down the centre of the shield ; those of the husband at the dexter
side being black, to indicate his death. The crest is placed over the shield, and
beneath it the family motto.
When a wife dies, leaving her husband surviving, the ground of the hatchment
is black on the side opposite to the right hand of the person looking at it ; at the
opposite side white. Their arms are displayed as in the preceding case, but without
crest or motto, and the shield appears suspended by a ribbon in a bow, and
ornamented with a cherub's head and wings.
The hatchments of ladies (except peeresses, who are entitled to a robe of estate)
are always without mantle, helmet, crest, or family motto, although funeral words and
sentences are sometimes introduced.
A widower's hatchment represents his arms with those of his wife in the same
manner as when living ; that is impaled, or divided by a perpendicular line down
the centre of the shield. His crest and motto are also emblazoned, and all the
ground outside the escutcheon is black.
The hatchment of a widow represents her arms impaled with those of her
xxii HERALDRY.
husband and enclosed in a lozenge, having a bow of ribbon at the top, and ornamented
with a cherub's head and wings ; all the ground outside the shield being black.
For a man leaving a second wife, the hatchment represents his arms (not impaled)
on a black ground. On the dexter side, or that opposite the left hand of the
spectator, is placed, apart fi"om the shield of the husband, a small funeral escutcheon,
on which his arms, with those of his first wife, are impaled ; all the ground at this
side of the hatchment being black, to indicate her decease. On the opposite side of
the hatchment, that is, facing the right hand of the person looking at it, another
small escutcheon is similarly placed apart from the husband's shield, and on it are dis-
played his arms impaled with those of his second wife ; the ground at the extreme
sinister side of the shield being white, to show that she survives him.
If a widower or a bachelor be the last of his family, a skull or death's head
(heraldically termed a mart) is annexed to the escutcheon — -the arms, crest, and motto
beino- displayed in the manner already described ; and the hatchment of a maid or widow,
who is the last of her house, represents the arms in a lozenge, with a "tnort annexed.
The hatchments of Peers and Peeresses have their distinguishing coronets.
On the hatchments of Baronets a front-faced, open helmet is placed over the
shield, on some part of which is displayed the red hand.
The armorial bearings of Knights are surrounded with the insignia of their
respective orders, and surmounted with the front-faced open helmet, which is also
assigned to knights bachelors.
The hatchments of Archbishops and Bishops represent their arms impaled with
those of their See; the latter being placed on the dexter side, that is, opposite
the left hand of the person who looks at it, consequently the opposite side is painted
black, that under the arms of the see being white.
The hatchment of the wife of an Archbishop or Bishop represents two shields ;
that to the left of the spectator displays the arms of the See impaling the
paternal coat, and surmounted by the mitre. The sinister shield (that to the
spectator's right) is suspended by a knot, bearing the prelate's family arms impaled
with those of his wife : the surface of the hatchment underneath the sinister shield
being black, to denote the lady's death.
The same rule is observed with respect to the hatchments of the wives of Knights
of the different orders, while those of Peeresses who have married commoners display
the arms of their dignity at the sinister side (that is, the side opposite the spectator's
right), apart from the heraldic bearings of their husbands.
SEIZE QUARTIERS.
If title be with us the test of position and precedence, the Seize Quartiers have
been considered in Continental Europe as the test of blood, or what is strictly
signified by tiie term " birth." It is the reverse of what is generally understood by
" a family tree," for there, the stream commencing with the earliest known ancestor,
flows down to the living generation; but in the " seize quartiers," beginning with
the latter, the stream, dividing on the mother's and father's sides into two lines,
Ihence continues to ascend, ramifying into the several sources whence it derives the
vital current. Thus at a glance is displayed and analysed the heraldic componency of
the warm flood circulating beneath each blazoned breast, betraying any alloying
admixture that may exist, and may, as in the pedigree of a race-horse (if I may
venture to use the simile), disentitle it to the character of "thorough-bred."
Increasing ])y a regular succession of reduplications in every generation, the range
of that of the great-groat-grandfathcr displays a series of sixteen shields of arms,
the "seize quartiers ; " the generation beyond has thirty-two shields, that succeeding
it, sixty-four, and so on till in the thirtieth generation the series of names for that
generation alone would exceed the present estimated population of the whole globe ;
HERALDRY. xxiu
and when the number, diminishing by one-half in each descending step, is added to
the above, the total of individaals whose blood is transmitted into the living man is
something prodigious ; consequently the number ascending to the beginning of the
world would be utterly uncountable. In this latter case it must be observed that
the same individual must have figured several times in different positions of relation-
ship, for otherwise in the generation contemporaneous with the creation of man, the
broad array of progenitors would be totally incompatible with the solitary Adam and
Eve, the fountain sources of all human blood.
The ancient chivalry of St. John of Jerusalem, which bore successively the titles
of Knights of Rhodes and Knights of Malta, was variously exacting in its require-
ments of proof of noble birth from candidates seeking admission to its ranks.
Vertot, the historian of the Order, tells us that the languages of Provence, Auvergne,
and France were obliged to prove eight quarters, or coats of arms, that is the genera-
tion of great-grandfathers and great- grandmothers ; Italy, only four quarters
or shields, i.e., the grandfathers and grandmothers ; but it was required that these
four quarters should belong to families of a noblesse acknowledged for the pre-
ceding two hundred years. Four quarters was the number also required from the
language of Aragon and Castile, including Portugal, but for German knights sixteen
quarters were necepsary, that being the number demanded by the Teutonic Order
from its postulants. This is and was at all times considered a very rigorous ordeal,
requiring often most laborious searches among archives and sources difficult of access,
as well as condemning numbers to exclusion, for it is not alone in our days that
ruined gentle blood sought to establish itself by union with merely plebeian gold :
title availed nothing.
The mode of proceeding in drawing up a pedigree of " Seize Quartiers," is as
follows, and the progression is very simple, though not generally understood : the
very words being familiarly comprehended neither as to their verbal import, the
rarity of the possession of such a pedigree, even among some of the most proudly
titled families in the peerage, its intrinsic genealogical value abroad amid heraldic
nations, or its being the real and actual test of the nobility of the blood of any
individual.
First write down the name of the postulant, then above his name those of his
father and mother, which form thus two quarters : the father's father and mother
then follow, and the mother's father and mother fill up the line of getieration, i.e.,
the grandfathers and grandmothers. Proceeding in the same way, we next mark
down the father and mother of each grandfather and grandmother, which form the
line of great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers, eight individuals, quarters or
coats of arms ; and the succeeding line of fathers and mothers of each great-grand-
father and great-grandmother, constitute the series of the great-great-grandfathers
and great-great- grandmothers, or sixteen quarters. This ramification, however, is
best understood by a glance at the following diagram :
Eight paternal quarterings. Eight maternal quarterings.

who combines in his person the blood of the sixteen families, arrajed
in the uppermost line, and displays sixteen coats of arms in his
shield, as a postulant in chivalry.
xxiv HERALDRY.
I have thus endeavoured to explain the exact meaning of " Seize Quar-
tiers." By the universal consent of continental Europe, the sixteen quarters
have been considered the test of blood; they have at all times been the Sesame
which has opened the door of every presence-chamber of royalty, of every
high place at foreign courts, and of every rich and noble Chapter. Nevertheless,
according to our English notions, this test is rather, I think, one of curiosity than
real value ; for, compare the continental nobility, which very generally still possesses
it, with the British nobility, which very rarely does, and mark the difference between
them. Our own aristocracy yields to none other in high breeding, honour, noble
daring, brilliancy of ancestry, talent, and simple, unostentatious grandeur of character,
and yet, comparatively speaking, few even among that elevated class can trace their
descent up to sixteen families on both sides entitled to armorial bearings ; or, at
least, in cases where this is practicable, many of the progenitors are of a very
secondary station, and belong to a gentry wholly without illustration. The proof of
value is its result ; and considering that the aristocracy of Britain may justly claim
superiority over the more exclusively well-bom aristocracy of the rest of Europe, I
cannot bring myself to believe that the test of " the Seize Quartiers " enters, neces-
sarily, into the composition of a first-rate English nobleman or gentleman. That
which is truly ennobling is a long line of gentle ancestors, either from father to son,
or through heiresses bringing the right of representation, combined with honourable
and appropriate alliances. Who would venture to dispute the nobility of birth of
the ducal representative of the Douglases and the Hamiltons, on the ground that an
alliance with a Gunning or a Beckford might perchance interfere with the perfection
of the German test of " the Seize Quartiers ? "
KINGS OF ARMS AND HERALDS.
The office of " King of Arms " is of feudal origin, and was one of the attributes
of the pomp and splendour annexed to feudal sovereignty. There is no trace of such
an institution anterior to the Norman invasion, which overturned the pre-existing
system in England, formed as it had been by a fusion of the usages of the ancient
Britons, Saxons, and Danes. Having so overturned it, the Normans introduced the
military and chivalrous code of feuds, with its homage, and fealty, and services. Sir
Henry Spelman is of opinion that the title of King of Arms was attributed to such
heraldic officers in England as belonged immediately to the person of the King's
majesty, while those who appertained to princes of the blood royal, or to the nobility,
were staled simply Heralds. Another learned author states that the title of " King
of Heralds (of later times called King of Arms) was given to that personage who
was the chief or principal officer presiding over the heralds of any kingdom, or of
any particular province usually termed the marches, or of any order of knighthood."
The primary duty of the English Kings of Arms and Heralds, at the time of
their establishment, corresponded with that of the Heralds of foreign princes ; they
carried and delivered all messages of importance to allies, enemies, and rebels, gave
solemn defiances and denunciations of war; summoned cities, castles, &c., to sur-
render ; made propositions of peace, truce, and accommodation, and offered mercy
and pardon to rebellious subjects and insurgents. They had also the cognizance,
inspection, marshalling, and regulation of coats of armour, and the several marks of
distinction connected with them ; they received all foreign nobility and others coming
to England to perform feats of arms, and gave safe conduct to them from their
arrival to the time of their leaving the kingdom; assisted at tilts, tournaments, and
feats of arms, and attended to the honour and reputation of military persons, and to
the safety, welfare, and defence of the King and his realms. They had also the
arrangement, order, and progress of legal combats; were likewise employed in
marshalling and conducting coronations, marriages, baptisms, funerals, interviews,
and other august assemblies, processions, pomps, and solemnities of the ancient
HERALDRY. xxv
monarclis, and took care that the orders, rites, and ceremonies established for those
ceremonials were duly observed; and that the rules of precedence were strictly
adhered to.
The pride and ambition of the nobility prompted them to imitate, and oftentimes
to vie with, their Monarclis in state and magnificence. Hence it is that we find
the Heralds attending at the faneral rites and ceremonies of the nobility, as well as
at the celebration of their marriages, christenings, and other festivities, and practising
the same forms and grandeur as were observed at those of the royal family.
Noble and illustrious descent having also been held in high esteem, strict
attention was paid to the observance of a just and exact distinction between the
different ranks or classes of the people. The ignoble never presumed, in those ancient
times, to arrogate a participation in the rights annexed to eminence of parentage, or
to claim honours to which their superiors alone were entitled. And the nobiKty and
gentry, cautiously jealous of their dignity, avoided mixing with the vulgar, and were
sedulously careful for the preservation, on all public and solemn occasions, of that
purity of rank and precedence which was due by the feudal system to their birth
and station in life. Family arms being the general criterion which distinguished the
gentleman from the peasant, no persons were suffered to enter the lists to tourney, or
exercise any feats of arms, unless they could, to the satisfaction of the Kings of Arms,
prove themselves to be gentlemen of " Coat Armour." And the ancient gentry took
particular care to have their arms embroidered on their common-wearing over-coats,
and would not suffer any person of the lower class, although become rich, to use
such tokens of gentle birth and distinction ; nay, so jealous were they of any
infringement of the armorial rights to which they were entitled, that whenever the
arms which they and their families had borne happened to be claimed by any other
gentlemen, they vindicated their rights in the military courts, and very often by duel.
Under those circumstances it became essential and was a necessary part of the duties
of Heralds, to draw out, with accuracy and exactness, the authentic genealogies of
noble families, and families of " gentle birth " to continue, and from time to time, to
add to and preserve their pedigrees in direct and collateral lines; and to have a
perfect knowledge of all hereditary arms, ensigns, badges of honour, and the external
marks as well of personal as of family rank and distinction.
Some portion of the ancient duties of the Herald has become obsolete with the
decay of the feudal system, but enough remains to render the office important and
useful. That branch of his labours connected with genealogy is valuable in the
highest degree. Genealogical tables and authentic pedigrees, regularly deduced,
contain memorials of past transactions and events, and from them chronologers and
historians have drawn very considerable assistance ; they have operated to the detec-
tion of frauds, forgeries, and impostures ; cleared up doubts and difficulties ;
established marriages ; supported and defended legitimacy and purity of blood ;
ascertained family alliances ; proved and maintained affinity and consanguinity ;
vindicated and corroborated the titles of lands to their possessors ; and have been of
essential use in settling claims and rights of inheritance without litigation, by
furnishing effectual evidence. Such has been, and ever must be, the utiUty of
genealogies, when they are framed with integrity and authenticated by evidence.
The HERALDIC AUTHORITY ovcr England and Wales is delegated by the Crown to
the hereditary Earl Marshal (the Duke of Norfolk), and three Kings of Arms,
Garter, Clarenceux, and Norroy, who form, together with the Heralds and
Pursuivants, the College of Arms. Of these, the principal is "Garter King of
Arms." In his Patent he is styled Principal King of English Arms, and Principal
Officer of Arms of the most noble Order of the Garter. To him immediately belongs,
inter alia, the adjustment of arms in England and Wales, and likewise the power of
granting arms under the authority of the Earl Marshal, in conjunction with the
provincial Kings of Arms occording to their several jurisdictions, to persons qualified
to bear them. " Clarenceux King of Arms," so named from the Dukedom of
ssvi HERALDRY.
Clarence, bas jurisdiction over the south-east and west parts of England ; and
" Norroy King of Arms," the most ancient of the heraldic sovereigns in England
possesses as his province, England north of the Trent. He is the North King —
" Norroy." The Enghsh Heralds bear the designation of " Windsor," " Chester,"
"Somerset," "Lancaster," "York," and "Richmond," the Pursuivants are known
by the names of " Rouge Dragon," " Rouge Croix," " Bluemantle," and " Portcullis."
The date of the creation of the historic and dignified ofl&ce of Garter Kino of
Arms may be fixed with certainty to have been between May and September, 1417.
The first Garter was William Bruges, originally styled " Guyenne King of Arms,"
and subsequently " Garteir Roy d'Armes des Anglois." By the constitution of King
Henry VIII., it was provided that Garter should be Sovereign within the College of
Arms above all the other officers, that he should have the correction of Arms, Crests,
Cognizances, and Devices, as well as the power and authority to grant Armorial
Bearings ; and that he should " walk in all places next to Our Sword, and no one
between thena except the Constable and Marshal when they carry the batons of their
office."
In addition, Garter King of Arms has various other duties of considerable
importance to perform, such as the regulation of precedence, the guidance of
Coronations, and State Ceremonials, the control and management of all matters
concerning the Order of the Garter, &c.
The Badge of Garter is of gold, having on both sides the Arms of St. George,
impaled with those of the Sovereign, within the Garter and Motto, enamelled in
their proper colours, and ensigned with the royal crown. His sceptre is of silver
gilt, about two feet in length, the top being of gold, of four sides of equal height
but of unequal breadth. On the two larger sides are the Arms of St. George
impaling the Sovereign's, and on the two lesser sides, the Arms of St. George,
surrounded by the Garter and Motto, the whole ensigned with an imperial crown.
The ancient office of Lyon King of Arms, long styled Lord Lyon King op Arms,
the King of Arms of Scotland, is found occupying a very prominent position so far
back as 1371, the year of the coronation of Robert II., at Holyrood. He derives his
authority directly from the Sovereign, and is entitled to wear an oval badge
suspended by a broad green ribbon. The Badge consists on the obverse of the e&igj
of St. Andrew bearing his cross before him, with a thistle beneath, all enamelled in
the proper colours on an azure ground. The reverse contains the arms of Scotland
having in the lower parts of the Badge, a thistle, as on the other side ; the whole
surmounted with an Imperial Crown. Lyon is the chief Heraldic Officer of the
Order of the Thistle, and enjoys the same rights and privileges in Scotland as Garter
King of Arms does -in England. The insignia of the Lyon Office are, "Argent, a
lion sejant full-faced gules, holding in the dexter paw a thistle slipped vert, and in
the sinister an escutcheon of the second, on a chief azure a St. Andrew's cross of
the first."
In Ireland, Ulster King of Arms has the sole heraldic jurisdiction, and has
under him Athlone Pursuivant: he is, ex-officio, Knight Attendant on the most
illustrious Order of St. Patrick.
The title of "Ulster King of Arms," was created in the reign of Edward VI.
But the office itself, under the designation of " Ireland King of Arms," had its origin
in more remote times, the first express mention of Ireland King of Arms being in the
sixth year of King Richard II., 1482 ; Froissart, vol. ii., calls him " Ckaundos le Roy
d' Irelande.'' A regular succession of officers by the title of " Ireland King of Arms,"
continued from that time to the reign of King Edward IV., who promoted Thomas
Ashwell to that office.
This title of " Ireland," as Sir Henry Spelman and Sir James Ware say, was
afterwards, by Edward VI., altered into that of Ulster. That King himself, in his
journal, takes notice of it as follows — "Feb. There was a King of Arms made for
Ireland, whose name was Ulster, and his province was all Ireland." The patent
HERALDRY. xsvii
passed under the great seal of England, 1553, with an ample preamble, in testimony
of the necessity and dignity of the office, \^hich was given to Bartholomew Butler,
York Herald. And a warrant bearing equal date with the patent was issued to Sir Ralph
Sadleir, Knt., of the King's Wardrobe, to deliver him " one coat of blue and crimson
velvet embroidered with the gold and silver upon the same with the King's Arms."
The Badge of " Ulster " is of gold, containing ou one side the cross of St.
Patrick, or as it is described in the statutes, " The cross gules of the Order upon a
field argent, impaled with the Arms of the Realm of Ireland," and both encircled
with the Motto, " Quis Separabit," and the date of the institution of the Order,
MDCCLXXXIII. The reverse exhibits the Arms of the Office of Ulster, viz., " Or,
a cross gules, on a chief of the last a lion of England between a harp and portcullis, all
of the first," placed on a ground of green enamel, surrounded by a gold border with
shamrocks, surmounted by an Imperial Crown, and suspended by a sky blue ribband
from the neck.
The general precedence of Ulster King of Arms was affirmed by his Majesty King
William IV. by royal warrant, dated at St. James's, 17th day of May, 1835, which
was issued for revising and making alterations in the statutes of the Order of St.
Patrick. After reciting that, by the Act of Union, Ireland became part and parcel of
the United Kingdom, and " our King of Arms of all Ireland has not had, since that
event, any specific place or i)recedence assigned to him among our Kings of Arms by
special ordinance or royal authority ; We do hereby direct and command that in all
ceremonials and assemblies Ulster King of Arms shall have place immediately after
the Lord Lyon, King of Arms of Scotland." Hence, the general precedence of the
Kings of Arms for Great Britain and Ireland stands arranged thus : 1st. Garter King
of Arms of England ; 2nd, Lyon King of Arms of Scotland ; 3rd. Ulster King of
Arms of all Ireland ; 4th. Clarenceux King of Aims ; and 5th. Norroy King
of Arms.
The local precedence of Ulster King of Arms at the Irish Court was established
at the institution of the office in Ireland, and the place assigned him the head of the
officers of state, and next the person of the Viceroy. This order of precedence was
afterwards confirmed by successive Lords Lieutenants and Lords Justices. In an
ordinance of the Earls of Orrery and Muontrath, Iiords Justices, dated at Dublin
Castle, 18th April, 1661, the programme of precedence of the officers of state at the
Irish Court was set forth in detail, and stated therein to have been " what had
formerly been used " by the " lords deputies or lords justices," and the place of the
King of Arms was therein set forth as first in order, and next to the lords justices as
representatives of the sovereign.
The Duke of Bolton, by an ordinance dated at Dublin Castle, 17th day of
August, 1717, confirmed that order of precedence, and assigned the place of Ulster
King of Aims to be next to the person of his Grace ; and after Ulster, the other
official personages of the Court.
By another order, of Lord Carteret, dated from "his Majesty's Castle of Dublin
the 29th day of October, 1724," the same roll of precedence was affirmed and ordered.
The last order upon the subject of the precedence of the person holding the office,
was the royal warrant of his Majesty King William IV., already mentioned.
Very considerable powers and duties, in addition to the due control and registra-
tion of arms and pedigrees, were from time to time conferred and imposed upon the
Ulster King of Arms, in matters of official proceedings and courtly duties, which he
regulates, whence the archives of his office present not only an interesting record of
the various ceremonials observed from time to time at the Irish Court, but are also
landmarks of genealogy, and consist not merely of genealogical materials and
references, but in great measure of genealogies of families, full, ample, and complete.
GLOSSARY.
The Shield, or Escutcheon,
Is the principal object whereon the emblems or charges of Heraldry are depicted. It Taries much in
shape, but is depicted triangular, or, as it is technically called, " Heater-shaped," on the oldest
monuments, coins, and seals. The surface or space within the bounding lines of the shield is called
the Field.
The Shield is divided into the following parts, ABC, the chief, subdivided into A'
the dexter, or right hand chief point ; B, the middle chief point ; C, the sinister, or
left hand chief point ; D, the coUar, or honour point ; E, the heart, or fess point ; F,
the nombril, or navel point ; and G H I, the base, subdivided into G-, the dexter base
^. point ; H, the middle base point ; and I, the sinister base point.
The Shield is distinguished by certain heraldic colours called Tinctures, separated by division
lines, and charged with a variety of animals, real or fabulous, instruments, and other objects, which
themselves bear the designation of charges.
The Tinctures used in Heraldry are metals, colours, and furs.
To Svlvester Petra-Sancta, a celebrated Italian Herald, is assigned the invention of the lines and
points by'which the tinctures are expressed.
The Metals are —
Qr — gold — known in uncoloured
drawings and engravings by dots or
points.
Argent — silver — expressed by the
shield being plain.
The CoLOUES are —
Azure — blue — depicted by horizontal
lines.
Qules — red— depicted by perpen-
dicular lines.
Vert — green— depicted by lines from
the dexter chief to the siniater base.
Sable — black — depicted br cross
lines, horizontal and perpendicular.
The FuBS are —
Ermine — a white field with black
spots.
Ermines — a black field with white
spots.
/ . .1. . \ Erminois — a gold field with black
'■•i-"^.i» -I spots.
Pean — a black field with gold spots.
Vair — composed originally of pieces
of fur, but now silver and blue, cut to
resemble the flower of tlie campanula,
and opposed to each other in rows ;
when of diflerent tinctures, they ore
sjiccified and described vaire.
Counter Vair — differs from " vair "
by having the bells or cups arranged
base against base, and point against
point.
Potent Counter Potent — is composed
of figures like crutches' heads.
GLOSSARY.
XXIX
The earliest representation of the indication of colour hy engraved lines, in England, is on the
impression of a seal to the death warrant of Charles I.
The old Heralds used more minute distinctions : the Arras of gentlemen, esquires, knights, and
baronets, they blazoned by tinctures ; those of the nobility by precious stones ; and those of emperors,
kings, and other sovereign princes, by planets.

The term Counterchanged {French, de I'un en I'autre) expresses that the field is of
two tinctures, metal and colour, and that the charge upon it partakes of both, — the
charge, or part of the charge, being of metal, which lies upon the colour ; and the
charge, or part of the charge, being of colour, which lies upon the metal. " Transmu-
tation, or counterchanging," says GuilLim, " is an intermiiture of the several tinctures of
the shield and charge, occasioned by the apposition of some one or more lines of
partition over the whole."
It is an inviolable rule of Heraldry, that metal shall never be placed upon metal, nor colour
upon colour ; that is if the field be of colour, the immediate charge must be of metal, and vice versa,
but numerous exceptions to this rule are found, not only in coals of a date anterior to the systematic
or scientific arrangement of Armorial Bearings, but in many of foreign origin.
PARTITION LINES.
Partition Lines are those that divide the field or charge ; and are always Right or Straight
Lines, unless when otherwise described ; those that vary from the Right Line are called —
Enffrailed.
Invected.
Wavy.
Embattled, or Crenellee.
ISlSlSlSXSlSU ^'''^^-
Indented.
Dancettee.
Raguly.
Dove-tailed.
To these may be added, those of rarer occurrence, Champagne or Urde, which resembles an
embattled line with the battlements and indentures drawn to a point instead of being cut straight,
and Potentee, when the edge of the hne resembles the heads of crutches.

ORDINARIES.
All charges of Arms are either proper or common ; those charges are said to be proper which by a
certain property do partiriularly belong to the art of Heraldry, and are of ordinary use therein ; hence
they are styled ordinaries ; the common charges are the representations of all emblems which retain
their own names in the blazon. The term here employed " proper " must not be confused with the
similar one (see Dictionary of Terms) which indicates that any heraldic chargo in a shield, crest, or
supporter, is of its natural colour or nature.
The principal Ordinaries are —
The Chief (called by French Heralds, un Chef, signifying head, from the place it occupies
in the shield) is the whole upper part of the field, cut off horizontally by a straight or any
other of the partition lines used in Heraldry, and should comprise a third part* of the
escutcheon.
The Pale is formed by two lines drawn perpendicularly from the top to the base of the
escutcheon, comprising a third part of the field. " The French," observes Mackenzie,
" say that Boldiers of old carried pales of wood to encamp them, which they fixed in the
earth," and thus originated this heraldic bearing.
The Send (Baltheus) is formed by two lines drawn diagonally from the dexter chief to
the sinister base, and comprises the third part of the shield. It represents a shoulder-
beh, or scarf.
• The Chief and the other ordlnarien which nrc mentioned as ocmipying a third part of the escutcheon, should, strictlj-
comprlae that ipare ; but In armorial drawings thin rule U seldom adiicred to.
GLOSSARY.

The Bend Sinister is the same as the Bend, excepting that the lines are drawn from the
Binister chief to the dexter base.
The Fess is formed by two horizontal lines drawn across the field, comprising the
centre third part of the escutcheon. It is emblematic of the military girdle worn round
the body over the armour.
The Bar is a diminutive of the fess, and of the same form, containing one-fifth of the field, and
may be placed in any part of the escutcheon.
The Cross is composed of four lines, two parallel lines perpendicular, and two transverse,
not drawn throughout, but meeting by couples at right angles, near about the fess point.
The Saltire (the Cross of St. Andrew) is formed by four lines, two drawn from the
dexter chief towards the sinister base, and the others from the sinister chief towards the
dexter base, meeting in the middle by couples in acute angles, and resembling two bends,
dexter and sinister, uniting or blending where they cross.
When charges are borne upon ordinaries, they are described " on a fess," " on a chevron," " on a
bend," &c., as the case may be. When charges are placed in the position that ordinaries occupy, they
are blazoned as "in pale," or " in fess," or " in bend," &c., as the case may be.
The Chevron (supposed by some writers to have been adopted from the bow of a war
saddle, which rose high in front) is formed by two parallel lines drawn from the dexter
base, meeting pyramidically, about the fess point, two other parallel lines drawn from the
sinister base.
SUB-OEDIN ARIES.
The Border {French, Bordure) was formerly a mark of difference, to distinguish one
branch of a family from another. It surrounds the field, occupying one-fifth of it, and is
of an equal breadth at every part.
The Orle, is an inner border that does not touch the extremities of the shield, the field
being seen within and round it on both sides. It has the appearance of an escutcheon
voided, or, as it were, insulated. The Tressure is a diminutive of the Orle.
The Inescutcheon, is a small escutcheon, home within the shield.
The Quarter, is the space formed by two lines, the one drawn horizontally from the
side of the shield to the centre, and the other perpendicularly from the chief to meet it in
the same place, and occupies one-fourth part of the shield, as the term implies.
The Canton, derived from cantonn6e, cornered, is less than the Quarter, comprising only
the third part of the chief, and is formed, as the Quarter, by a perpendicular line drawn
from the top of the shield, meeting another drawn horizontally from the side. The Canton
always occupies the dexter chief of the escutcheon, unless otherwise expressed.
^
Cheque, or Chequy, is used when the field, or any armorial charge, i^ divided by transverse
lines perpendicularly and horizontally into equal parts or squares alternately of different
tinctures, like a chess-board. On ordinaries, chequy must consist of at least three ranges
of square pieces.

Qri f Billets. Billets are oblong figures. When they exceed ten, and are irregularly placed,
^ \ their number is not expressed in the blazon ; but the field or charge covered with them is
said to be billettee.
The Paile, or Pall, is composed of the upper half of a saltire and half a pale, the latter
issuiug from the base point of the shield to the centre.
The Oyron, is of a triangular form, composed of two lines, one drawn diagonally from the
dexter chief angle of the shield, and the other horizontally from the dexter side, both meeting in the
centre.
The Pile (representing a pile used in the erection of miUtary bridges), s-hould contain,
if borne plain, one-third of the chief in breadth, and when charged, two-thirds : it issues
from the chief and tapers to a point, like a wedge, towards the base.
The Flaunch, or Flanque, is made on each side of the shield,. by the segment of a
circular superfices drawn from the corner of the chief to the base point.
The Lozenge, in a parallelogram with equal sides, forming two acute and two obtuse
angles.
The Mascle, is a Lozenge perforated or voided, so that the field appears through the opening.
The Fusil (representing a kind of spindle used in spinning) resembles the lozenge in shape, but
is somewhat longer. The field or charge when divided by diagonal lines dexter and sinister, so as to
form fusils all over it, is denominated Fusily. There are two other well known, though not modernly
adopted, forms of the fusil, and more characteristic of the spindle which they are intended to
represent.

The Fret, is composed of six pieces, viz., two long ones in saltiro, extending, as a rule,
but not necrflHarily, to the extremity of the field, and four pieces conjoined in the centre
in the form of a mascle, interlaced or fretted by those in saltire.

THE APPENDAGES OF THE SHIELD.
The Selmet, Mantling, Wreath, Crest, Supporters, and Motto.
The Selmet, Melme, Casque, or Morion, has varied in shape in different ages and countries. The
most ancient form is the simplest, composed of iron, of a shape fitted to the head, and flat upon the
top, with an aperture for the light. This is styled the Norman Helmet, and appears on very old
seals, attached to the Gorget, a separate piece of armour which covered the neck. In the twelfth
century, a change was made to mark the rank of the individual bearer.
The Selmet assigned to Kings and Princes of the Blood Roi/al, is full-faced, composed
of gold, with the beauvoir divided by six projecting bars, and lined with crimson.
The Selmet of the Nobiliti/ is of steel, with five bars of gold : it is placed on the
shield incUning to a profile.
The Selmet of KnigJifs and Baronets-, is the full-faced steel helmet, with the visor
thrown back, and without bars.
The Selmet of Esquires, always depicted in profile, is of steel, with the visor
closed.
Each of these Helmets is placed immediately above the escutcheon, and supports the wreath on
which is the crest.

OF THE DIFFEEENT MONARCHS SINCE THE CONQUEST.
William I. (the Conqueror). Gu. two lions pass, guard, or. Much
controversy has arisen regarding leopards or lions, but the latter would
appear the more correct. John, the Monk of Harmonstier, in Tourain, a
contemporary writer, relates, that when Henry I. selected Geoffrey
Plantagenet to be his son-in-law, " Clypeus TiConculos aiireos imaginarios
habens coUo ejus suspenditur."
William II. (Rufos), second sou of the Conqueror. The same Arms as those of his
father.
Henry I., third son of the Conqueror. Arms similar to those of his predecessor.
King Stephen. This Prince's Arms are differently described : by some he
is said to have borne the same Arms as his maternal grandfather, William
the Conqueror ; by others— Gu. the bodies of three lions pass, the necks with
men's bodies or, in form of the sign of Sagittarius ; by a third, which is the
most correct, Gu. a Sagittarius ar. King Stephen is said to have adopted
the latter bearing from the great assistance afforded him by the archers, and
having entered the kingdom when the sun was in the sign Sagittarius.
Ivi THE ROYAL ARMORY.
<?ri-/^,4^ Henry II. Gu. two lions pass, guard, or, previously to the King's
^^^^r marriage with Eleanor of Aquitaine, when he adopted a third lion, for
Q^^^^^^ Aquitaine. On the Great Seal no Arms appear, the concave side of the
aT^;^ /^ shielding only exhibited. Henry II. appears to have been the first monarch
M ^*^^ U w^o "^®^ ^ badge, he first bore an escarbuncle of gold, an ancient mark of
^ *V*^^ ^ hj** paternal House of Anjou, and afterwards introduced the sprig of broom
ff ^^^ Vi ^laxit, or Planta Genista, from which his surname, Plantagenet, was derived,
> v!^^^_--^ ^^^^ which was a favourite badge with some of his descendants. He is also
^k<^o-^S^^^J^ said to have borne a jennet between two sprigs of broom.
Richard I. {Coeur-de-Lion). Before the Crusade, Richard's Great Seal shows but a moiety
of the shield (the dexter side) with a lion ramp, sinister, from which the inference is that he
then bore two lions combatant. After his exploits in the Holy Land, another Great Seal
bears the three lions, which henceforward became the hereditary bearings of the Kings and
Queens of England. This King bore as a badge a broom branch with the pods open, this
device appears on his first Great Seal ; he also used a crescent surmounted by a star. Having
defeated the French at Gisors, 1198, and his watchword there being " Dieu et mou droit," he
adopted it for liis motto, and it continued the motto of nearly all his successors.
King John. Prior to his elevation to the throne, when Earl of Mortagne, in Normandy,
this Prince bore two lions only ; after his accession he assumed the Arms of his predecessor.
King John used as a badge the crescent surmounted by a star, one of the badges of his prede-
cessor, Richard I.
Henry III. bore the same Arms as his father King John, and used the Planta Genista,
or broom slip, for his badge.
Edward I. bore the .same Arms as his father, Henry III., and his grandfather, King
John ; his badge was, A rose slipped, the sialk vert, the petals or.
Edward II. bore the same as his three immediate predecessors ; his badge was a golden
tower, in allusion to the arms of his maternal grandfather, Ferdinand III., King of Castile.
Edward III. This Prince assumed the title of King of France, in sup-
posed right of his mother, Isabel, daughter of Philip IV., who became that
monarch's sole heiress, his three sons having died issueless. Quarterly, 1st
and 4th, France, az. semue-de lis or ; 2nd an 3rd, England, gu. three
lions pass, guard, or. His favourite badge was "Sunbeams issuing from
clouds." Henry VIII. caused this cognizance to be represented on the
habits of Knights of the Garter, in memory of this sovereign, the founder
of the Order. Edward III. also bore, A trunk or stump of a tree eradicated
and couped or.
Cre/<t — Upon a chapeau gu. turned up erm. a lion pass, guard, crowned
or. Edward III. was the first English King who bore a crest, which was continued by
succeeding monarchs to Edward VI. inclusive, on the Great Seal.
The Order of the Garter was instituted by King Edward, and the ribbon was generally
borne round the Royal Arms by his successors, although not introduced on tlie Great Seal before
the time of Henry VIII.
Richard II., son of the Black Prince. This monarch bore the same Arms upon the Great
seal as Edward III., but iiaving chosen St. Edward the Confessor for his patron, he impaled
the Arais of the Confcs-sor, Az. a cross patonce Ijetw. five martlets or, with the Arms of France
and England, quarterly.
Richard wius tlie finst Engli.sh King who used Supporters, namely, two angels ; beneath
the shield, a white hart coiichaut, gorged witli a gold coronet, and chained under a tree ; a
device from the ensigns of his mother Joan, the Fair Maid of Kent, a white hind, which he
lK>re ;is a badtje. He likewise used other badges, viz., A pe;i.scod branch, with the cods open
and eini)ty, 'Jhe sun in splendour, and The eradicated st\iinp of a tree couped or ; he also
used A white falcon. At a tournament held at Windsor, j)revious to his departure for Ireland,
forty krii{,dits and as many escpiires were apparelled in green, with a white falcon for a badge.
The "Sunbeams issuing from clouds," the " Pl.mita Genista,'' and the " White hart," appear
on the mantle and kiitle of his monumental ertigy in Westminster Abbey. An ostrich ducally
gorged and chained, holding a [Kission nail in the bill and a " knot" are on the effigy of his
first Queen, Anne.
Hknry IV. This Prince a[)pears to have taken the Great Seal of his predecessor, the
second RiciiAHr), merely sub.stituting his own name for that of the late King, and bearing the
same Arms, with Enol.vnd occasionally in the first quarter.
THE ROYAL ARMORY. Ivii
Supporters — Oa the dexter side, a swan ar., gorged and lined or ; on the sinister, an ante-
lope ar. gorged and lined as the dexter.
Badge — A "silver swan" was the princijjal cogni;^ance of this King, derived from the
Bohuus, Earls of Hereford, his first wife being a daughter and co-heir of that House. Another of
his badges, " a white antelope," is said to have also had a connection with that house. Another
badge ascribed to him is a fox's tail, derived from his maternal ancestors, the house of
Lancaster. In a MS. entitled " Arms of the Founders of the Order of the Garter," the
badge of Henry Plantagenet, Duke of Lancaster, represents a square tablet divided into two
by a perpendicular line down the centre, coloured white and blue, on the white appears a red
rose, and on the blue a fox's brush in its proper colours. The double SS was another device
of this King, the origin of which has not been accounted for. His second wife, Joane of
Navarre, used for a cognizance, an ermine collared and chained, with the motto, " A tem-
perance."
Henry V. Quarterly, France and England. The Arms of France
having been altered by the French King, limiting the number of fleurs-de-
lis to three, Henry V. adopted the alteration.
Supporters (when Prince of Wales) — Two swans, each holding in the
beak an ostrich feather and scroll ; after ascending the throne, he assumed
a dexter supporter, a lion. ramp, guard, crowned, the sinister being an
antelope, as that of his predecessor.
Badge — Before his accession to the throne he used the silver swan of
Henry IV., and afterwards a fire beacon. Over his tomb in Westminster
Abbey there is a representation of an antelope and a swan chained to a
beacon.
Henry VI. Arms, same as predecessor.
Supporters — Two antelopes ar. gorged with coronets, attired and chained or : those
appear over the porch of Eton College. A tiger ramp, guard, or, semee of roundles alter-
nately sa. gu. az. and vert, with fire issuing from the mouth and ears, sometimes occurs as the
sinister supporter.
Badge — A device of this King was a panther, another ascribed to him was two ostrich
feathers in saltire, one silver, the other gold. The ostrich feather was a favourite badge of the
descendants of Edward III., borne, sometimes one and sometimes three, the pen of the feathers
was fixed in a scroll ; the coronet as now borne by the Prince of Wales was added by
Edward VI. The badge of Henry VI. 's Queen, Margaret of Anjou, was a daisy, with the
motto, " Humble et loiall. '
Edward IV. France and England, quarterly.
Supporters — Dexter, a lion ramp. ar. the tail passed between the legs and turned over
the back (one of the supporters of the King, as Earl of March ; sinister, a bull sa., horned and

— The crest (a red dragon) was that of the ancient family of
De Kighley for many generations Lords of the Manor, whose
last representative (a female) married the then head of the
house of Cavendish in the time of Queen Elizabeth, and
thereby carried the Keighley estate into that noble house,
of which the Duke of Devonshire is the head. His Grace
still letains the estate which has belonged to his family for
nearly 700 years. The serpent twined round the head ol
the dragon is the Cavendish crest. The circle with the
wavy blue lines at the bottom of the crest, and al.so repeated
in the shield, is the heraldic emblem of water technically
calleil a fountain, and refers to the situation of Keighley in
a well watered valley, the streams of which have greatly
tended towards the progress of the town, being of great
Talue for manufacturing purposes. This idea is also borne
out by the motto " By Worth," that being the name of the
principal stream on the banks of which Keighley is situate.
The shield is a combination of the Keighley and Cavendish
arms. The silver shield and black bar being those of the
former family, while the three stags' heads are the cogni-
zance of the Cavendishes. The blue embattled border
jurrounding the shield shows that the arms are those of
an ancient town, which is the case, Keighley having
obtained iu original market charter in the reign of
Edward I.
